Finding the missing heritability of complex diseases
Open accessAbstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with complex human diseases and traits, and have provided valuable insights into their genetic architecture. Most variants identified so far confer relatively small increments in risk, and explain only a small proportion of familial clustering, leading many to question how the remaining, 'missing' heritability can be explained. Here we examine potential sources of missing heritability and propose research strategies, including and extending beyond current genome-wide association approaches, to illuminate the genetics of complex diseases and enhance its potential to enable effective disease prevention or treatment.

“When GWAS began the field was dominated by the simple common disease-common variant (CD-CV) hypothesis1–4 has been refuted in light of the so-called ‘missing heritability problem’”
From Rare and common variants: twenty arguments (2012) · cites this paper as [6]
In the citing paper
“While there has been a very public focus on the failure of GWAS to find the missing heritability5,6, the simplest explanation for this is that the expectations were based on unrealistic prior assumption of effect sizes.”
From Rare and common variants: twenty arguments (2012) · cites this paper as [6]
In the citing paper
“Despite the success of genome wide association (GWA) studies in identifying common single nucleotide variants (SNVs) that contribute to complex diseases1, the vast majority of genetic variants contributing to disease susceptibility are yet to be discovered.”
From Statistical analysis strategies for association studies involving rare variants (2010) · cites this paper as [2]
In the citing paper
“Using a model that assumes an underlying normally distributed but unobserved disease risk score or liability49, the nineteen loci described here account for between 10% (if AMD prevalence is close to 1%) and 30% (if AMD prevalence is closer to 10%) of the variability in disease risk (corresponding to 15–65% of the total genetic contribution to AMD).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
